Thanks for the input Duncan.
I could get by on a primitive site but then how would I power my fridge or
get the water to come out of my faucet? Little details.

Good discussion. My days of primitive/stealth camping are long behind me. In
fact, that's why I bought Freedom. AC in the summer and electric heater in the
winter for me. No solar setup will power that, atleast for long. Oh, and no
climbing UP out of a tent. Love my Westie.
I had to retire the orange battery this winter. It finally ran its shelf life
and wouldn't hold a charge. I replaced it with a yellow top. My winter "to do"
was to isolate the #3 fuse to the spare battery. I finally got that done but. .
.I tore everything out to run one wire behind the sink and now, with everything
out and access easy, I am wondering if I should replace the wallpaper. Bigger
job than I wanted though so I'll probably just replace the sink and worry about
it later. BulliGras is fast approaching. And T@P is right behind that.
No solar for me. Gimme the grid.
Except I keep thinking of Dan & Kat's trip to NM and will get a small trickle
charger, though. Couldn't find the past post about their trip to Ruidoso (?),
NM but they had a dead battery and had to drift down a mountainside!
BTW: here is G2's original post on the orange batteries, which has links.
